Los Cabos spas typically offer signature treatments that revolve around a unifying concept. At The Spa at Las Ventanas, the menu is a showcase for treatments inspired by the four elements: earth, air, fire and water.

The Sense of Beginning menu, for example, offers an array of massages, manis, pedis, and mini facials for children ages 5 to 13. A parent or guardian must be present during these spa visits, so treatments like the Mom or Dad and Me - in which a parent and child receive side-by-side Swedish style massages - are a popular option. Dogs, too, are treated like VIPs at Las Ventanas: canine pampering options include dog butlers, doga (dog yoga) classes and soothing massages.
